Great game! Love the puzzles. Thought it's too hard for a high school student (aka me). Great job tho!

Teacher SimulatorI loved the idea of the game, and for a 48 hour time limit, you did incredibly well !

Honest Space PenguinsWow! What a detailed game for a 48h jam! I didn't expect to have to use other tools outside the game to complete it. I like how the clues kind of nudge you in the right direction yet it still feels great when you solve it. The cpu meter was a nice touch adding a more game-like feel. Also thought it was a really clever the way credits were shown. My only feedback would be to have a more certain indication when you get the password wrong.
By the way you should totally add a selection box to the desktop :D

JumbledEverything is there to solve the puzzle (the more time you get stuck more clues you have), I loved it (it would be nice to let the player that the code is a 4 letter code), I was starting to type the whole thing after a pass it tru ceasar cypher, then I reach the end of the text box and I realized something like that would be to hard and tiresome and then I saw the clues, too late I lost my first attempt, but the second one was easy (I try to use brute force but no words came out of it so then I realize the pop ups had a number and then the hard part was only looking for the 4 letter code, great game I really loved it (I hope dumb people dont steal you a place on the first 100)
Really nice programmed PC simulation. Made me chuckle at A.S.S. assistant acronym :)
I also struggled at the end when trying to decipher code, and I was not sure how popups could help me, but it was so obvious that I was like "Ahhaaaa damn it I am a dumbass".

Cursed Date!I played this a few times to see if I could beat the puzzle but I was stuck trying to figure out the cypher, I saw some of the different letters it was talking about but was completely unsure how the popups helped me solve the cypher. I think it's a cool concept, because I love hacking games, but it was too difficult for me to solve. I think there was too much text in the cypher box to get through and it was small on the screen, it frustrates people and gives them eye strain. Not as fun as it could have been I think. Good submission though :) It was unique.
Thanks for playing.
I've noticed that people struggle sloving the cypher at the end. I've realised the problem with the screen resolution one hour after the jam ended. I locked it at 1080p in production just because stuff looked nicer but completly forgetting that there are people how don't have 1080p screens.
[Spoiler] It is not clear if the password has to be encoded or decoded into caesar. My intention was that people google it and will find instructions or even encoder online. So solving it would be "easy". And you should encode it, so shift it to the right.
